With that mysterious tag at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, casual fans who stuck around to the bitter end were left wondering what the significance was of the star emblem on the pager dropped by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) while Marvel fans immediately recognized that the symbol heralds the arrival of one of the Marvel Universe’s most powerful characters, Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel (Brie Larson). The first female superhero to get her own movie, Captain Marvel promises to be the Wonder Woman of the Marvel Universe, even borrowing a page from the Distinguished Competition’s narrative by basing the film at least partially in the past. In this case, it’s the 1990’s and not the 1900’s, but there’s bound to be plenty of fish-out-of-water moments when Carol returns to Earth after, presumably, decades in space.
